+poga+poetry+by+wayne.jpg)
somewhere at a rusty table
a poet sits,
shaking her hands at what she sees.
a bottle of cheap whisky is open,
with ashes on her lap
listening to gypsy jazz.
it has got cold inside
so she lights up another.
a turtle moves slowly
towards the heat. Tomorrow
she will write all day, and then
go dancing, but tonite
she translates bad poetry
and it makes her cry.
the ashes notice and smoulder.
the turtle doesn't care.
she pours herself more whiskey
and thinks of the mountains
where coyotes come down at night
to gobble the turtles.
she doesn't hear sounds of help
so ignores them. she flings
the bottle at the floor,
turns the jukebox up, closes
her eyes and lights up another.

Lovely write - I guess we have all had our 'whiskey and cigarette' times...
Have a wonderful New Year Wayne.

This is redolent with all the right sensations. A powerful piece.
I agree with the above two commenters. This moves me in mysterious way. Like the connection between the coyotes and the turtles and the whiskey and the ash. What a pleasure. So glad to have discovered your poetry.
Strong stuff, well done:)
I was mesmerized, under your spell! Great write ...
Happy New Year
This poor translator is a mess. I think adding the whiskey added a nice touch. You told us a lot with few words. Well done!

A series of questions surround Läther. [url=http://www.ukdresshop.co.uk]Celebrity Dresses[/url]

I know I can't please everybody but I'm doing this blog for free because I feel like doing it from the bottom of my heart.

A hairdresser, for example, might put hair gel in the customer's hand and show them how to apply it themselves. The beats studio have a over ear design which is better at blocking noise then the solo on-ear design, and they have active noise cancellation, which blocks some of the really annoying background noise on trains, cars, aeroplanes, etc, and they block a fair bit of general outside noise when music is playing because of their enclosed over-ear design..
This seemed like such a difficult task until I was referred to Isagenix. http://www.femmescanadagoose.com Zankyou The tip: dare to combine them with your bridal shoes, underwear and other accessories.
Especially in winter, when many cool shoes have to be thrown into wardrobe leaving us to be in trouble of worrying about which pair of shoes to wear, the perfect resolution is to prepare a pair of UGG boots, which not only keep feet warm but also rock people's eyes with fashionable appearance. It cannot be denied that though it all depends on the perception and grasping ability of the student but a university plays key role in shaping the aptitude and altitude of the person.
